Extremely doubt Verizon would push 2.3 out. The Galaxy S II comes equipped with gingerbread

Yea but its an update not like a feature its should be available for all android devices eventually you'd think.

Yeah it's not like i disagree with what you're saying, but Verizon barely pushed out Froyo... I would be surprised to see 2.3 on this phone

They just got Froyo a little while ago, I couldn't imagine the Fascinate getting Gingerbread anytime soon. If ever

Maybe never officially, it'll happen via hacking and flashing though.

 

[beamer071]

I'm not into the hacking really but I guess I can only hope.

Generally carriers don't like to update their phones past end of life, so that you will have to buy another one. Google would prolly have to step in and pressure the carrier. The fascinate meets all the GB requirements but its almost at EOL, being almost a year old. GB in not much of an improvement anyways except for some performance upgrades. If samsung releases source code for gb then there may be some hacks. Samsung did say they planned to update their galaxy s phones, but they (vzw/samsung) have made empty promises before.

Yea I hate how they judge the support/upgrades...ect based on how long its been our I just got mine in may cause I waited and got it for free with my new two year renewal. We're all not made of money and cant get them right when phones come out, but I know that they dont care about that one bit

There are two gingerbread roms out for fascinate on xda:

1: Kaoscinate: [ROM] [CM7] [GINGERBREAD] Kaoscinate V7 - xda-developers
2: CyanogenMod v7 Alpha: [ROM] CyanogenMod 7.0.3 ALPHA3 - 5/11/11 - xda-developers

They have their flaws because they have been ported from other devices but they work fairly well.

 

[beamer071]

Doesn't that entitle me to root my phone in order to use them which then voids all warranties?

Yeah, you would have to root your phone in order to get those roms. I wasn't saying they were official, just saying they exist if people were interested.

 

[beamer071]

The support is appreciated if only the donkeys that are in control of updates would do the same.

I wouldnt worry about gingerbread anyways, its not that much different from froyo. The herdle was getting froyo on the fascinate which is very much improved from 2.1. The next real OS improvement will come from Icecream Sandwhich, which most phones will not see until next spring or later most likely.

Ice cream sandwhich??? Hmmm didn't know that was what was coming out next but by then they won't even worry about updates for these phones probably and I will probably be able to upgrade by then but I hope if any are possible they'll release them asap.
